Chapter 925: Are You a Dog?


The more Yi Lanke said, the more excited he got. “I hope that Zi Yi can hold a special lecture at ​​the university here. Even if you just mention surface-level knowledge, it would be considered extremely useful for us.”


Zi Yi smiled and regarded what he said as a joke.


However, Yi Lanke was not joking. After he proposed this idea to Zi Yi, he started making plans for it.


Subsequently, both of them went down to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

!!

Even though Yi Lanke was the chief construction engineer, he did not know what experiments would be conducted in this laboratory. All the materials used to construct this building were special materials. Moreover, there were no columns to support the building. The bas.e.m.e.nts spanning hundreds of acres of land were divided into mere dozens of units.


This alone was already very incredible.


“Zi Yi, I really can’t imagine what type of experiments will be conducted in this laboratory in the future. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me?”


Yi Lanke had been bothered by this question for a long time. However, he had signed a non-disclosure agreement and it was already considered a breach of contract with his sudden question. He was just too curious.


“No,” Zi Yi said to him, “You are only an architect and it’s useless for you to know this. Moreover, this is confidential and it’s best that you don’t know.”


Even though Yi Lanke felt uncomfortable deep down inside, he did not say anything else.


Both of them continued walking in the bas.e.m.e.nt for some time before they returned to the ground level.


The project was almost coming to an end and Zi Yi said to Yi Lanke, “There’s no need for you to come here anymore. After clearing away the construction waste in the following two days, this place will be sealed off.”


Yi Lanke nodded his head and he asked, “Zi, are you really not planning to hold a special lecture at the university here?”


“I won’t be going, I don’t have time.”


“Alright then. It’s really a pity.”


When they went up to the ground floor they saw Lu Jingye standing by the entrance and waiting for them.


Lu Jingye said to Yi Lanke, “Mr. Yi Lanke, we have prepared a dinner for you and your team tonight. It’s at the nearby winery. You must come.”


Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye with slight surprise. She did not know why he was holding the dinner at the winery.


Lu Jingye gave her a look as if saying: “I’ll tell you later”, before he turned to Yi Lanke.


Yi Lanke would obviously agree to the invitation. “Sure, I’ll go back and change my clothes first.”


Ever since the construction of the laboratory started, Yi Lanke and his team had been staying here. Now that the construction ended, it was normal for the host family to hold a dinner party for them.


After Yi Lanke left, Lu Jingye suddenly asked Zi Yi, “Yiyi, do you have medicine that can make one forget something that had happened over the course of a few months?”


Zi Yi immediately understood his intention. “Are you planning to let them forget what happened here?”


“Yes, but it’s not good to forget everything. It’s best that the medicine can make everything that happened here become blurry but they would still recall that it happened.”


Zi Yi nodded her head. “Even though I do not have any ready-made medicine, the medicinal ingredients Shadow has can be used to create the medicine. Let’s go and get Shadow to synthesize it right away.”


Soon, both of them returned to the winery.


Lu Jingye mentioned the dinner party at the very last minute but he had already made all the necessary arrangements.


When they walked into the living room, Qin Ze was currently in a conversation with the housekeeper. At the sight of Zi Yi and Lu Jingye making their way inside, he went over to them and asked, “Zi Yi, do you know that there’s going to be a dinner party held here tonight?”


“I know.” Zi Yi looked at him with an incredulous look. “Why are you asking about this?”


Qin Ze told the housekeeper to make a move first. “You can go ahead with the preparations first.”


After the housekeeper left, Qin Ze deliberately lowered his voice and said, “Lu Jingye suddenly mentioned that he would be holding a farewell party for all the architects. Why do I smell something unusual here?’


“Are you a dog?” Zi Yi shot him a glance.


Qin Ze knew that his guess was right when he saw her expression. He touched his chin and thought for a moment before he said, “Things at the laboratory have reached the final phase and the architects should be able to leave in the next two days. Even if they have signed a non-disclosure agreement, I don’t believe you two will be at ease.”


Even if he was in their position, he would not be at ease either. After all, the research here could change the entire world. There would certainly be many people having ideas about this laboratory and they would do whatever they could to achieve their motives. Therefore, the best method was to remove possible future complications.


Zi Yi looked at Qin Ze’s confident expression and did not say what they would be doing. Instead, she asked, “If it were you, what would you do?”


“Of course, it’ll be best to let them forget about everything here. If that’s not possible, the next option would be this.”


While he was speaking, he sliced his neck with his hand.


Zi Yi crossed her arms and said, “Can you refrain from being so b.l.o.o.d.y?”


Qin Ze: “…”


He turned to look at Lu Jingye. He did not believe that was what he had intended to do.


Lu Jingye did not look at Qin Ze at all as he led Zi Yi upstairs. While walking, he said, “Since you are so idle, help out with the dinner party tonight.”


Having said that, both of them went upstairs.


Qin Ze looked at both of their back profiles and clicked his tongue as he roasted them. “Why are these two people going back to their rooms in the daytime? And yet they are even ordering me to organize the party! How would I possibly know what to do?”


Following that, he scratched his head.


Just then, the housekeeper came inside and said to him, “Mr. Qin, someone is outside.”


“Are they here to look for Ian?”


The news of their arrival here should not have been spread out yet. He also heard that this place was previously Ian’s winery and he had lived here most of the time. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the person should be looking for Ian.


“No.” Unexpectedly, the housekeeper said, “The person said that he’s here to look for someone who has a say in things.”


The housekeeper did not see Lu Jingye and Zi Yi when he came in, so he informed Qin Ze about this.


Qin Ze found this weird. “Do you recognize the person?”


“He mentioned that he’s from the Count’s Mansion.”


“He’s someone from Ian’s family?”


“Yes.”


Qin Ze found it somewhat puzzling. Lu Jingye and Zi Yi had just gone up moments ago and if the both of them were really doing something that cannot be described, wouldn’t he be blacklisted by that woman if he were to knock on their door? In the end, he said, “I’ll go and take a look.”


Having said that, he left together with the housekeeper.


The man standing outside the gate was craning his neck, trying to take a look inside. His actions seemed to be very suspicious and it was obvious that he was up to no good.


Qin Ze walked up to him and asked, “Why are you here?”


The man sized up Qin Ze. He was dressed in casual clothes and also why does he look like a poor man? Can this person really make decisions here?


“Can you call the shots here?”


His tone of voice sounded as if he was full of doubts.


Qin Ze was unhappy. “If you think I can’t call the shots, you can leave.”


Following that, he was about to turn around and leave.


“Hey.” The man hastily called out to him and explained the purpose of his visit. “The Madam asked me to make a trip over and inform Young Master Ian that she will help out with the dinner banquet tomorrow. Young Master Ian doesn’t have to worry about it.”


Qin Ze stopped and sneered. He then crossed his arms and turned back to look at the man. “Ian has already gone back to the Count’s Mansion. You are purposefully not telling Ian himself but came here on purpose. In my opinion, I don’t think you’re here to inform me of anything. Instead, you must have ulterior motives, right?”
